Context of Psalms 35:9

7For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, without cause have they digged a pit for my soul. 8Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: with destruction let him fall therein. And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation. 10All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him? 11Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not.
